Like most writers, I've worked at many jobs in my life,
including teaching pre-school until I completed my master's
degree in Composition Theory. Between 1993 and 2006, I
taught college English while writing fiction on the side,
some independently and some with my husband and lifelong
partner J.C.
Over the years, we've lived in Washington State, Idaho,
Colorado, and recently, we moved just south of Portland
Oregon. I love the Northwest, and it's a great place to write.
We have a lovely and talented daughter, Jaclyn, who lives in
Houston, Texas along with our wonderful and talented
son-in-law, Paul.
J.C. and I sold Dhampir in 2001, and this changed our
lives considerably. It was published in January 2003, and
we've published a Noble Dead book every year since:
Series 1
1. Dhampir
2. Thief of Lives
3. Sister of the Dead
4. Traitor to the Blood
5. Rebel Fay
6. Child of a Dead God
But in May of 2006 (just as we had begun writing Child), we
were both able to quit our teaching jobs and move into full
time writing.
In 2008, I sold the idea for the "Vampire Memories" series
to our editor, Susan Allison, at Roc Books (via our agent,
Ashley Grayson). I am so glad our books have found an
audience because I love to write fiction more than anything
else in the world... and I'm not really good at anything else.
